S+T+ARTS AIR Festival ● October 26th and 27th in Barcelona

This two-day event will take the form of a unique exhibition within a grand, spacious tent. It will highlight the works of the project´s resident artists and serve as a dynamic platform for dialogue and collaboration across diverse fields of expertise. Centered around the complex and multifaceted concept of air, the event will explore its significance, impact, and potential as a catalyst for change and inspiration.

The show is a spectacle of experimentation, science and art on the edges of our known worlds. Emerging as the culmination of a unique international collaboration between internationally acclaimed artists, scientists from Supercomputing Centers BSC and HRLS, MSC, SONY CSL and HEKA Labs for ambisonics, and experts in art (Épica la Fura dels Baus), architecture (RCR Labs) and art-driven innovation (In4Art).

During the show, you will witness some cutting edge experiments at the frontiers of science and technology. We will enter the body and explore the inner breathing architectures, up to the tiniest tissues in our lungs. We will go outside and, for the first time, be able to see the magnetic fields our telephones create when we walk down the street. We will go on a meta walk through a digital city inhabited by species that define our urban ecosystems. We will experience what it is like when one can modify ones voice in real-time by treating the voice as a digital instrument. We will learn how AI sees our movements and tries to make sense of its most subtle patterns. We will explore when personal space ends and crowd space begins through a spectacular new way of using AI to understand personal space infringement.
